iBook: 933 maxed out, or base 1 gHz?

Which would run better: the 933 iBook, with the bigger hard drive and maxed out RAM, or the base model of the 1G iBook? Cause they're about the same price.

Or should I just say "**** it" and get the 12" PowerBook?

I would have to guess the maxed out 933 iBook.
Compair them:
1 GHz:
256 RAM
No AE
No bluetooth

933 Mhz:
640 RAM
AE
Bluetooth

Everyting else is the same, HD, V RAM, etc. If I had the choice, I would go for the 933. I can spair the 67 MHz.
 
between the ibooks, the 933 is definitely the way to go. With maxed RAM it will way outperform the 67mhz-faster 1 Ghz model.

However, the PB is a very tempting choice. I have one, and it's so amazing. But... for the same money, the maxed ibook 933 will be your best performer.
 
I would say that if you are planning on upgrading it then the 1 ghz is the way to go- just make sure you get bluetooth because that you can never add (without an annoying little stick).
